The Cleveland Cavaliers will play the Golden State Warriors in Game 2 of their NBA Finals 2015 series on Sunday, with LeBron James looking to lead Cleveland to a road win and get them back into contention after their Game 1 loss earlier this week. The game takes place from the ORACLE Arena in Oakland, California and has a scheduled start time of 8 p.m. ET. The game will be broadcast on TV on the ABC network, but can also be watched online through live stream via the link below.
The Warriors took hold of the NBA Finals in Game 1, going 1-0 and looking good bets to claim the title this year.
The pressure is increasingly on LeBron James to drag the Cavaliers back into this series, especially with Kyrie Irving going into surgery on Saturday to fix a fractured left kneecap. That is just the latest problem to have hit the Cavaliers, with Kevin Love already on the sidelines, and if they are not careful this series could get away from them very quickly.
Ahead of today's game, James has said, "(I) understand that we were the underdog coming into the series and with Kyrie being out people are writing us off. So, I mean, that's fine. That's fine. I'm motivated to get our guys ready to go tomorrow and we will be ready."
However, the Warriors are not getting ahead of themselves and they know there is still a lot of work to do before the championship is theirs.
Center Andrew Bogut said, "No series is un-losable. Stranger things have happened and they're still a great team with arguably the best player in the world. Obviously they're going to have other guys that have to step up to help him get wins, but we can't take this team lightly."
Curry meanwhile has indicated that the Warriors are trying to keep things normal and not feel the pressure of being favorites: "There is no pressure or added pressure, I don't think, because our goal stays the same. We're not really listening to any outside noise or predictions, or who is favored to do what, because we control what we control.
"When we go out there and play, we've got to play better than we did in Game 1, and that is really our only focus."
